The next-generation Toyota Tacoma is almost here. Ever since redesigned mid-size pickup debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, the automaker has been revealing snippets of information about it. Now, we have some of the best 2016 Toyota Tacoma highlights—ones that’ll hopefully get you as pumped as we are for the truck’s impending release!

GoPro Camera Mount

The 2016 Tacoma is designed to appeal to your sense of adventure. While you can buy a GoPro camera mount separately, Toyota is making it as easy as can be by making it a standard feature on the Tacoma. The truck is perfect for off-road adventures, so why not film your escapades so you can relive them later and show your friends how awesome your new truck is? Rumor has it you’ll even be able to buy the matching camera alongside your Tacoma from the dealership.

Locking Tailgates

For the first time ever, the Toyota Tacoma will feature standard locking tailgates. In past generations, Tacoma owners have sometimes taken to rigging their own locking mechanisms for their tailgates to avoid theft. But now, those tailgates will be safe as can be, so you won’t have to worry about anyone vandalizing your ride.

Updated Technology

The 2016 Tacoma will be the most tech-savvy variant yet. Qi wireless charging will allow you to keep your phone juiced up without worrying about remembering your charger. The cabin will be quieter than ever, with a multi-layer acoustic windshield, floor silencer pads, a sound-absorbing headliner, and enhanced seals. Toyota’s latest Entune infotainment system will also be available to help keep you entertained on the road.

Think you know the Toyota Camry and Corolla? Think again. The automaker will be releasing its Camry and Corolla Special Editions in mid-August, and it’s safe to say that both models will change your view of the two popular sedans in a major way.

Both special edition models made their rounds of the auto shows earlier this year, impressing us and making us excited for their release.

Now that the time is almost upon us, we’re learning the main details about these vehicles. The Camry Special Edition will be priced starting at $25,715 MSRP, and will feature a power tilt/slide moonroof, smoked taillamp treatment, Blue Stream Metallic and Blizzard Pearl exterior colors, Dark Blue interior trim, standard Qi-compatible wireless charging, and a whole host of sporty and unique features that’ll make you stand out on the road.

The Corolla Special Edition comes with an MSRP of $20,635. For that price, you’ll get a choice between three exterior colors: Absolutely Red (exclusive to this model), Black Sand Pearl, and Super White. Other features include a red-accented dash panel and door trim, black mixed-media seats with red contrast stitching, and a Smart Key System with push-button start.

Toyota will make a total of 12,000 Camry Special Edition units, and 8,000 Corolla Special Edition units between August 2015 and January 2016. Both models will be available soon at Bill Walsh Toyota, so hurry down and take one out for a spin before they sell out!
